Here's another tough one, this one with laurels and a mintage of only 2,807 pieces. The reverse could pass for an MS62 in my opinion....
I've got quite a nice little collection going. A few mint state examples, but the majority in problem-free AU58. Here's the lowest graded coin...
Here's a couple examples of 50c size coins that were in the collection. Most of these were acquired for less than $12 back in the 1990s, some for...
I once had a very similar collection. My parameters were that it had to be silver, had to be uncirculated, and had to fit into a US Half Dollar...
[ATTACH] From Tom Caldwell at NorthEast Numismatics. Coin was previously housed within a PCGS MS63 slab. It picked-up the PL designation at NGC...
I'm of the opinion the alloy was not random. I can't imagine them refining the gold down to 0.875 fine with the rest of the alloy considered...

Krause has the mintage listed for both the 1/2 pound and Pound, but nothing for the 5 Pound (at least in the edition I am using). I'm guessing it...
$1,931 an ounce, which sounds like an all-time high when it isn't. [ATTACH]I bought a new Mercury Cougar in October 1984 for $11,000. Today, a...
Agree on that point, though the ratio has been far closer in the past. The whole coronavirus thing is peak right now, in 10 days it will be...
My all-time favorite book on investing is as relevant today as it was when published in 1989. Peter Lynch's "One Up On Wall Street". His advice...
Skanky! I think Kirk would agree, that Sherry Jackson as Andrea was pure GOLD in comparison to any of the later Star Trek babes, --even if it...
The same movie has been filmed about half a dozen times, but my favorite version of Titanic is the movie A Night To Remember (1958). 123 minutes...
Didn't know that about Biafra, interesting slice of history. Kind of like the experiment that was Katanga, about the only trace left being some...
